Teaching and Coursework

Instructor of Record

University of Rochester
Introduction to Philosophy (Summer 2016)

Including readings from both classic and contemporary literature, the course covered general topics in philosophy including knowledge and skepticism, personal identity, free will, and the nature of morality. Throughout the course of the term students incrementally developed a small writing assignment into a term paper.

Using Bioethics by Louis Vaughn, the course covered various topics in Medical and Bio-Research ethics (e.g. Autonomy, Paternalism, Informed Consent, Distributive Justice, and Beginning and End of Life Issues). The course was primarily targeted at future medical professionals, including both ethical theory and case-based approaches.
